Catholic Bishops in Virginia Urge Governor to Veto Contraception Bills | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Catholic bishops in Virginia are urging Governor Glenn Youngkin to veto 2 bills promoting contraception. The measures establish a "right to contraception" and force health insurance companies to provide coverage for birth control without religious exemptions. Governor Youngkin, a Republican, has not yet said publicly whether he supports the proposals. The deadline for his signature is later this month. Executive Director of the Virginia Catholic Conference, Jeff Caruso tells us more about these proposals. He says they would undercut current laws on parental consent on surgeries for minors and undermine religious liberty and conscience rights. Caruso discusses whether Governor Youngkin has given any indication of whether he will sign these proposals. The Virginia Catholic Conference has started an online petition and letter-writing campaign to the governor's office, asking him to veto these members. Caruso fills us in on what the response has been so far. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
